Does the blade have a convex grind? It looks like it but I can't be sure.

The cutting edge is a modified Scandinavian Grind, which is very effective for carving, skinning and other general woods work. With a rockwell hardness of 56-58, the ease of sharpening is astounding.

It will ONLY apply a convex grind - that's the benefit of a belt sharpening system. A convex grind is stronger than a flat grind (stone) or hollow grind (wheel) and will stay sharper longer.

Sorry it took so long. Mine do not have that blade. At least it does not say so on the blade.

It is a double bevel flat grind right now. I have sharpened it on a WorkSharp so not sure about bevel but it came with a flat grind.

As stated by MLEC, the blade does have a round in the center for the shaft. That is just, one, bad photo. I have ordered many from Amazon. The other holes at both ends are just wear indicators. The newer hardened blades are the bomb.

If you are referring to the slots or grooves the miter square slides in the answer is YES. It has a slot on each side of the blade.

Not sure of the edge angle, but the one I received was not a saber grind it is a full flat. S30V is fantastic steel and Spyderco goes does it really well.

J, mine arrived with smooth edges all the way around the blade. The corners were rounded and blade end edge was slightly beveled and smoothed. Mine was not rough on any of the blade edges (end or outer edges).

To the best of my knowlege, it does not come in a coarse grind. Mine didn't work at all well until I used a "christmas tree" shaped stone in a Dremel tool to sharpen the little teeth very gently on the inside. Now it grates like a little grating fiend. I hope this is helpful.Gerry N.

It's conical. It look like a flat wheel grinder but the teeth are on the edges at a taper, thus making it a form of conical burr. A wheel burr grinder would have the teeth on the flat surfaces between the wheels.

Yes, is a blade grinder. As for the quality, seems pretty good to me. I've only used it in the 'coarse' setting, for a french press and it's perfect. Highly recommended....

Yes it does, you can see the hole in the grip, that goes through the same steel the blade is made of.

It's a double bevel grind. Nice knife. Sharp. Cuts nicely through veggies. Can't respond about bone as I don't eat meat, yet I've had this for several months of daily use and it has remained sharp. Not sure what you are looking for in a knife, but this one is lovely. Nice grip on the handle allows quick chopping, and more delicate slicing with ease. Nice wide blade also allows for using it for garlic etc. Its not overly heavy, yet it has power. I too struggled with chosing and decided on this as a reasonably priced knife. I am happy with my purchase many months later. Hope this helps?

I dont know any chinese manufacturer that is trying to copy these. They certainly wouldnt be this expensive either. As far as grind do you mean angle of the edge? If so Im not sure what it would be called. Its not a standard 20. Its a slow regression towards the spine and evens out about halfway. Its a bit of a pain to get used to sharpening, but rarely needs it, and is super sharp. Its my hunting knife.

Yes, it curves slightly. I know what you're saying, the top piece pulls the blade into it's shape. You need to make sure it's tightened and not loose, but try not to tighten it to the point of being hard to shave with. Hope that helps.

Just got mine that I ordered on November 21, 2012, and it has a full flat grind blade.
